There’s a story in our family about a cousin who went to what he thought was my grandfather’s funeral, but he went to the wrong church where there was a different funeral starting. There were so few mourners there that he felt bad about leaving this stranger’s services and missed my grandpa’s. ---

I once entered an event center, had a few drinks, then realized neither the bride nor groom were people I knew. I snuck over to the other reception down the hall. ---

I had friends in high school who would crash wedding receptions. It was two young women who’d get all dressed up and head downtown to a huge four-star hotel that, on any summer weekend, would have four or five wedding receptions. They did look up the couple, find the wedding announcement and make up their “distant relatives/friends” stories … but they soon discovered that, if they just ate and drank and chatted with each other, **no one ever even approached them.** ---
